I’ve been trying out directional air roll, but honestly, I just don’t like it. I prefer the normal air roll. I’m currently Diamond 1 and I’m wondering if shying away from directional air roll is going to hurt my chances of climbing the ranks in the future. Will avoiding it really put me at a disadvantage as I try to progress?

I’ve hit Champ 3 without ever using directional air roll. There are high-profile pros out there, like Alpha54, who also play without it. While directional air roll can enhance aerial control, at Diamond 1, focusing on consistency, positioning, and shot placement will give you a bigger boost than learning directional air roll right now.
You might find that you won’t need directional air roll as you keep playing, but it’s also possible that you might want to learn it later on. I use both normal and directional air roll effectively, so it really depends on your play style. Don’t stress too much about it right now!
That sounds like a solid approach! How do you manage quick recovery? My button setup gives me trouble with speed in executing things like jump and boost.
